From Senegal to Seattle

Isn't this orange batik fabric stunning? Our local customer brought this material back from her Peace Corps stint in Senegal a few years back. While in Africa, she wore the fabric as a traditional head scarf.

She paired the cotton with navy microsuede, mandarin faux leather, and this bright lime green on the inside.

I love the juxtaposition of the traditional fabric against our modern Veronica bag design. What a great way to give new life to a garment from a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
